The content was adapted from IBM Wikis - AIX 5L Wiki - aixopen

AIX 5.3 ML 03 is assumed. The gcc 4.0 or later should be installed.

  1. Make sure you have a few tens MB of free space in the following directories:
  2. Download the following:
     
  3. Install all the RPM files - if they are in one directory you can use shortcut:

    rpm -Uvh *.rpm

  4. Uncompress the PHP source code file and untar the files
    gunzip php*tar.gz
tar xvf php*.tar
  5. If complied with oracle correct file $ORAHOME/rbms/public/oratypes.h (for some mental or religious reasons) it contains these lines:

    /* --- Signed/Unsigned eight-byte scalar (orasb8/oraub8) --- */

    #if (__STDC__ != 1) || defined(__64BIT__)

    # define ORAXB8_DEFINED

    # ifndef lint

    # ifdef __64BIT__

    typedef unsigned long oraub8;

    typedef signed long orasb8;

    Correction:

    1. Add

    || defined(HAVE_LONG_LONG)

     to the #if

    2. Before configuring php, execute

    export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DHAVE_LONG_LONG"

     

  6. Add /opt/freeware/bin to the PATH and -DHAVE_LONG_LONG to CFLAGS (if complied with Oracle)

    export PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH

    export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DHAVE_LONG_LONG"

  7. Run the following configure script
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
  --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \ 
  --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf \
  --with-gd \
  --with-ldap \
  --with-zlib-dir=/opt/freeware/lib \
  --enable-shared --disable-static \
  --with-zlib \
  --with-jpeg-dir=/opt/freeware/lib \
  --with-png-dir=/opt/freeware/lib \
  --with-xpm-dir=/opt/freeware/lib \
  --with-oci8=/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 \
  --with-freetype-dir=/opt/freeware/lib \
  --with-oci8=/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
    Notes:
  8. Compile PHP with the following command:
    make

Compiling PHP with Oracle support

Installation of PHP

Install PHP with the following two commands

make install
Installing PHP SAPI module: apache2handler
/usr/local/apache2/build/instdso.sh SH_LIBTOOL='/usr/local/apache2/build/libtool' libphp5.la /usr/local/apache2/modules
rm -f /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
/usr/local/apache2/build/libtool --mode=install cp libphp5.la /usr/local/apache2/modules/
cp .libs/libphp5.a /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.a
cp .libs/libphp5.lai /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.la
libtool: install: warning: remember to run `libtool --finish /home/php/php-5.2.5/libs'
chmod 755 /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
... ... ... 

						
Install libphp5.so, if nessesary and php.ini



Often make install fails to move 
.libs/libphp5.so to destination. In 
this case you need to execute the command manually: 



	
cp .libs/libphp5.so 
	/usr/local/apache2/modules




If you do not have your own php.ini you need to put 
defualt into conf directory




	
cp php.ini-recommended /usr/local/apache2/conf/php.ini




Configuring PHP with Apache2 on AIX - By Example

						
Assuming you have just installed Apache2+ (and it is 
						working OK) and have just installed PHP as in the above 
						section then this is what you need to configure PHP to 
						work.

						
    
							
  1. Stop Apache2 with: /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl 
							-k stop 
							
							
    2. 
							
  2. You will need to configure PHP into Apache2 
							before you use it 
							
							
    3. 
							
  3. Restart Apache2 with: 
							/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl 
							-k start 
    
 
    4. 
							
  4. Now test PHP with Apache2 
							
							
    5. 
						

						
Once compiled moving Apache2+PHP to an 
						new/production machine

Typical complication when compling PHP5 with Oracle support




	
Error: oraub8 undeclared

	
Cause: $ORAHOME/rbms/public/oratypes.h 
									(for some mental or religious reasons) 
									contains these lines:

	

		
/*

Solution:

	
1. Add

Compiling Apache2 and PHP 5.1 on AIX 



	
July 9th, 2006  |
	FASherman

	
This build was accomplished on AIX 5.3 ML 03 with no IBM compilers installed. 
	I highly recommend building and installing Apache 2 and PHP 5.1 together. Performing 
	these separately can have unpredicted results.

	

	Prerequisites 

	
    
		
  1. Make sure you have the necessary free space in the following filesystems:
		
      
			
    • /usr 
      • 
			
    • /opt 
      • 
			
    • /home 
      • 
			
    • /tmp
      • 
		
    
		
    2. 
		
  2. Download the following:
		
		
    3. 
		
  3. Install libm.a from the AIX CDROM 
    4. 
		
  4. Install the compiler and library
    
		
    
		rpm -Uvh gcc-4*.rpm
    
		rpm -Uvh libgcc-4*rpm
    5. 
	

	Compiling Apache2+ using GCC
	
    
		
  1. Uncompress the Apache Web Server source into your home directory
    
		
    
		# gunzip httpd-2*tar.gz
    
		# tar xvf httpd-2*.tar
    
		# cd httpd* 
    2. 
		
  2. Build the configuration file enabling shared object
    
		
    
		# ./configure -C --enable-so --prefix /usr/local/apache2
		
    3. 
		
  3. Compile the server
    
		
    
		# make
    
 
    4. 
		
  4. Install the server (/usr/local/apache2)
    5. 
	

	

		# make install

 

	Compiling PHP using GCC
	
    
		
  1. Uncompress the PHP source code file and untar the file
    
		
    
		# gunzip php*tar.gz
    
		# tar xvf php*.tar
    
		# cd php-5.1.4     
    2. 
		
  2. Build the configuration file enabling shared objects
    
		
    
		# export PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH
    
		# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs 
		--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf --with-gd --with-pear --with-gettext 
		--with-mime-magic --with-zlib-dir=/opt/freeware/lib --enable-shared --disable-static 
		--with-png --with-zlib --with-bz2 --with-xml --with-jpeg-dir=/opt/freeware/lib 
		--with-png-dir=/opt/freeware/lib --with-xpm-dir=/opt/freeware/lib --with-freetype-dir=/opt/freeware/lib    
		
    3. 
		
  3. Compile PHP with the following command:
    
		
    
		# make
    
		
    
		NOTE: There will be compiler warnings about pointers type mismatches. The 
		can be disregarded. 
    4. 
		
  4. Install PHP with the following two commands
    5. 
	

	

		# cp .libs/libphp5.so /usr/local/apache2/modules

		# cp php.ini-recommended /usr/local/apache2/conf/php.ini

 

	Configuring Apache2 with PHP
	
    
		
  1. Stop Apache2
    
		
    
		# /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k stop
		
    2. 
		
  2. Edit /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf, adding the following at the 
		end
    
		
    
		LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
    
		AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    
		DirectoryIndex index.php
    
		
    
 
    3. 
		
  3. Edit the /usr/local/apache2/conf/php.ini file
    
		
    
		Change the php variable:
    
		;date.timezone = 
    
		to reflect your timezone 
    4. 
		
  4. Restart Apache2
    
		
    
		# /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k start
		
    5. 
		
  5. Now test PHP with Apache2
		
      
			
    • Create a test web page 
      
			
      
			# vi /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/phpinfo.php       
      
			
      
			<h1> PHP testing </h1>
      
			<?PHP phpinfo() ?>       
      • 
			
    • Open the page in your browser:
			http://your_server/phpinfo.php
			
      • 
			
    • Verify the php data 
      • 
			
    • Delete phpinfo.php
      
			
      
			# rm /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/phpinfo.php
      • 
		
    
		
    6.
